Is it just me or is this really ugly. When I was in Oslo there was lots of electric ferries and they were beautiful compared to this.

I like the colour scheme of #3 for a restaurant or living room, but for the ferry I'd like more of a classic nautical feel, so I'd go with #1 here.The City has a survey up on your opinions about the interior design of the new Ferries.

I prefer number 3 here. I'm not settled on the black/charcoal offset colour and wouldn't mind seeing the blue tried out here...........but its not bad, good contrast.
But the 'wood' ceiling makes it for me.
I'm more concerned that it appears they want to have a row of screens along both back walls. Assuming this is inside the cabin, that's going to lead to lots of reflections off the windows when trying to take photos, especially in dim light or at night.

It's no better when you go inside. White, grey, and black mostly. No wonder people don't want to work in the office. How utterly depressing.
I'm not sure how they can ask about the colour palettes (plural) at the end. Only a single option had any colours - and even palette is "a collection of colours". Though perhaps the orange on the fire exits counts ...

I like the designs, but I'm curious about how they plan to speed up boarding, despite the greater number of passengers. I don't see a lot of stairs to the upper level to circulate people up and down quickly.
(EDIT: Also, how often does the city need to move 14 vehicles to the island at once? I'm sure there must be a reason to increase the vehicle capacity from the Ongiara, but 14 simultaneously seems like a lot of vehicles.)

I agree. Probably state of the art looking for 1930. Not a fan.

The historical look doesn't help; but it should be noted the new Toronto ferry is about 4x the capacity of the electric ferries I know about in Oslo.

Not a fan of the glass-fronted washroom.

I commented that it would be nice to make sure there is LED lightning with options for less harsh lighting at different times of day/night, and also perhaps different lightning colours available for special events. This seems to be pretty easy and standard for LED lights now.
When you fly on Porter and it is dark out, they change the interior lighting (after boarding is complete) from white to purple which makes it easier to see out the windows without reflections. Here we could do a "Toronto Blue" interior lighting after sunset.

With a capacity that high, I'm assuming passengers will have access to all 3 levels. Is that right?

You can still do so on the middle deck. It's good to have options.

That first part of the message was a draft from yesterday before the render was shared. Didn't realize it was still there when I typed the 2nd part of the post today.

I am a lot happier with the somewhat traditional double ended design than something new or stylish. The ride across Toronto Harbour is just the right length to be liesurely and out of the present.
As a comparison, the newest Ollis-class Staten Island Ferry has a capacity of 4500 but a much larger end-loading footprint.
